And as Biden famously said, "There's steel in that spine."

God bless our president. He asked for a prayer cover long ago, and many of us try to give him that. Even the atheists and agnostics in their own humanist way, which counts every bit as much. Sometimes I wonder if we're not living under the perfect ancient Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

But we will make it through. Together. Setbacks will come, but then we will overcome that too. On the right side of history, remember.
